Cyndi Lauper to Open Shelter for Homeless

Posted: 07 Apr 2010 12:19 AM PDT

Cyndi Lauper is helping establish Manhattan’s first permanent housing for homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth in Harlem.

Many homeless LGBT youth face violence in mainstream shelters, forcing them to rely on a small network of gay-friendly facilities, advocates say.

Cyndi Lauper to Open Shelter for Homeless

The True Colors Residence, set to open in winter 2011, will provide young people between 18 and 24 with a place to live while helping them get back on their feet.

"Kids are coming out in greater numbers as they see themselves accepted and represented on TV and in movies, but they're still being kicked out of their homes or running away and living on the streets.

We need to make sure we're taking care of them. This is the next generation of the LGBT community."

The residence, which will be built on W. 154th Street near Frederick Douglas Boulevard, was the brainchild of Lauper, her publicist Lisa Barbaris, and Colleen Jackson, executive director of the West End Intergenerational Residence, an Upper West Side facility geared toward young families and older low-income adults.

The 80s pop singer, known for her hits “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “True Colors,” will donate money for the facility through her True Colors Fund, is an honorary board member and is championing and promoting it, Jackson said.

“There are no permanent residences [in Manhattan], and LGBT youth make up 40 percent of the runaway and homeless population, maybe even more. It’s outrageous.”

Currently, there are four emergency shelters and two transitional living shelters that house youths for up to two years. The True Colors Residence will provide young people with a permanent residence.

The six-story building will contain 30 studio apartments, a communal space, a library and computer room. It’s expected to cost roughly $11 million. Residents will sign a year-long Section 8 lease, and pay rent according to their income.

Lambert’s voice captured America. His makeup brought us the term “guyliner.” And his style is sharp — literally. At Fashion Week, he wore a glove with claws, designed by the Blonds.

In other news, Adam Lambert will be a mentor on American Idol, as the singer confirmed via his Twitter:

“It’s true! In addition to performing on Idol April 14th, I will be mentoring the top 8 on the 13th. I feel honored to be asked.”

The theme for next week’s performance show has not yet been announced

Janice Dickinson Sings, Thinks Lady Gaga is Ugly (Video)

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 08:05 PM PDT

The world’s first supermodel, Janice Dickinson, recently chatted with Out about her new song called “Crazy,” Lady Gaga, getting hit on by Simon Cowell, her love for and fear of Perez Hilton, and Ricky Martin exiting the closet.

Let’s just say, Janice has a very interesting view on things.

Janice Dickinson Talks Smack

Why the venture into music?

“The gays need more money. My gays need more money for AIDS and AIDS research. Elton John, pediatric AIDS — we need to find a cure for AIDS. I'm obsessed. Here's the deal: I love my daughter, she's out there, Mother's Day is coming, Mother's Day to all you queers, but we need to find more money for AIDS. That is why I decided to do music — to raise money for AIDS, more research, and the cure for f##king AIDS. Thank you.”

Lady Gaga is the queen of the dance floor…

“Oh is she? I love how Stefani Germanotta has chosen the art world as a reference. Phenomenal. Stefani — Lady Gaga — has to refer to the art world as reference, because honey she ain't no beauty to look at, but, she becomes beautiful in the eyes of the beholder — the way her performance transcends her persona. Her music to me — I mean come on — “Paparazzi” and all these kitschy little songs, they're good, really good. To see her live in Vegas, at the Mirage — I walked out. I'm sorry. I watched her at the piano and I had to go out and have a… [once again lowers her voice] smoke. We walked out because I was thinking, Stop talking about “Your sex, I want your sex.” I don't give a f##k about her I wanting “your sex.” But you know, I get where she's coming from, and it's phenomenal, along with the perception that her gays put together her performance art for her. But it's all who you surround yourself with — the team. Example: me — Janice Dickinson — I wouldn't be sh#t if it weren't for my gays. I wouldn't be even sitting here if it weren't for late great Way Bandy, for the late great Ara Gallant, for the late great Richard Avedon, for the late great every single queen from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s that made me La Janice. Match that Gaga! Aight?”

Do you read your own press? Is Perez Hilton a friend or a foe?

“I worship and I'm afraid of Perez Hilton at the same time. He — she? — She's dangerous, she's powerful, and I was the first to put La Perez on my reality show. Sorry, Tyra. I put him on first. He's phenomenal. He's so quick witted and sharp. But I will say this: Perez, you know you're in love with my son, and you know you want to be my son-in-law. You still had to line up at my birthday party last February. They wouldn't let him in the door. Sorry Perez, you could probably say more evil things about me. I don't care!”


Have you ever thought about getting your own talk show?

Oh, I am a talk show. The answer is yes. And I don't think Telepictures [the production company that produces The Tyra Banks Show] is going to give me one because wherever Tyra is, she ain't letting me in the front door, bitch! She's not letting me in. Guess what? I don't really care. I do want a talk show — the answer is yes. The world needs me on television because I can speak — in three languages.

New Trailer & First Look At ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ - Video

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 07:53 PM PDT

We’ve just found this new trailer and first clip of the new Freddie Krueger movie, “A Nightmare On Elm Street” and it’s crazy!

New Trailer & First Look At 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' - Video

Jackie Earle Haley stars as Freddie and reinvents the movie villain that we’ve all come to know and fear in our dreams - at least, when we were kids.

Of all of the movie remakes, it looks like Michael Bay has really made this one scarier. I didn’t even think that was possible. Did you?

Check out the trailer, below:


Check out this new clip from the movie, featuring Kellan Lutz getting stalked by our favorite janitor.


Are you excited for this movie to come out? The trailer is now playing before “Clash Of The Titans”. I know I’m going to see this. Maybe I should take my kids? I kid, I kid. (Or do I?)

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Week Three Results Show

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 05:47 PM PDT

“Dancing With The Stars” kicked off tonight with a brief recap of last night’s performances. When asked who he would like to see dance again tonight, Len Goodman said Evan and Anna.

'Dancing With The Stars' Week Three Results Show

Evan took his fine self back up there and did the Quickstep in his hot little suit. Did I mention I’m team Evan?

Up next, country singer Reba McIntyre took to the stage to perform a set. This is the point where I muted the television set. On a side note, however, I do like Reba’s hair.

Mark Ballas, Derek Hough and Chelsie Hightower performed a saucy Paso Doble. That was the hotness. I think I’ve found a new appreciation for Derek.

Reba took to the stage for another set and [enter mute button here] she looked like she was rockin’ it.

Jake, Buzz and Kate are all in the bottom three, but they’ll be whittling that down to two, in just a moment. Jake and Chelsie and Buzz and Ashly are in the bottom two, which means Kate Gosselin is safe. UGH.

So who’s getting the boot? It’s Buzz Aldrin! Can you believe Kate beat him out?!?! What?!?

Janet Jackson Premieres ‘Nothing’ Video For ‘Why Did I Get Married Too’

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 04:01 PM PDT

Janet Jackson has just premiered her new music video, titled, “Nothing”, which is a part of the soundtrack to Tyler Perry’s movie, “Why Did I Get Married Too”.

Janet Jackson Premieres 'Nothing' Video For 'Why Did I Get Married Too'

This video reminds me a lot of Michael Jackson’s music. The audio is a little off-sync, but it’s still a decent enough quality. Check it out below!


The soundtrack for the movie:

1. “I Love You” - Ziggy Marley
2. “Nothing” - Janet Jackson
3. “In the Middle of It All” - Irma Thomas
4. “A Strange Arrangement” - Mayer Hawthorne
5. “Blazing Love” - John Brown’s Body
6. “Chemical Reaction” - Chaz Shepard
7. “I Can’t Believe It” - The Falcons
8. “Woman Come Home” - The Vanguards
9. “Gotta Find a Way” - Bob & Gene
10. “Still” - Christel Alsos
11. “Married Man” - Ronnie Butler
12. “It’s Raining Men” - Weather Girls

What do you think of the song? What about the video? I think that she’s been away from the game long enough. The world needs more Janet, Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.

You can pre-order the soundtrack here on Amazon or purchase the single on iTunes here.

Robert Pattinson On The Set Of ‘Bel Ami’ - Photos

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 03:09 PM PDT

Robert Pattinson is on location in Budapest, filming his latest flick, “Bel Ami”. In a new interview with The Sun, Rob talks about the fame that he hasn’t earned, saying that he thought he would have to be in films for roughly ten years before acquiring the sort of fame that was seemingly handed to him.

Rob says that his fame has cost him some friendships, being as it’s hard to keep a friendship alive when you haven’t spoken to his mates in a year.

He said, “I've been forced to stay in a hotel for the last three years. It's frustrating. I almost gave in and bought a house in Hollywood. But luckily I realized how insanely expensive that is and I don't even know if I'll still be working next year. I'm comforted by my guitar - my true companion that travels everywhere with me. I didn't need this in the past, until I got back to London and found out I had lost my whole social life. It's tough maintaining it when you don't speak to anyone for over a year. I am now trying to get back in touch with some friends through Skype.”

Since becoming famous, Rob says that he’s also found it difficult to cultivate new friendships because he’s suspicious of anyone’s intentions.

He added, “Being well known is a real burden. I'm less open and have noticed that I'm actually getting paranoid. If people push themselves on me I find it grueling and repulsive. If I even think someone wants to approach me I feel the need to scream, 'What do you want of me'. Then later I think, 'What if this person only wanted to be nice?'”

I do have to say that he looks much hotter in these photos than he ever has in any of the “Twilight” ones. What do you think?

Nicollette Sheridan Attacked by Marc Cherry ?!?

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 07:05 AM PDT

nicollette-sheridan-and-marc-cherry

A lawsuit erupted over at camp "Desperate Housewives." Nicollette Sheridan is suing the brains behind the show claiming that he hit her in the head and face after she confronted him about a script issue. The price tag on this claim is just over $20 million.

"In the legal papers Nicollette is suing for assault and battery, gender violence and wrongful termination. In the lawsuit, Sheridan claims Cherry created a hostile work environment from the get go, “behaving in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner toward the individuals who work on the show.”

Her story surrounds the date of September 24, 2008. Sheridan stated that Cherry "took her aside" and then "forcefully hit her with his hand across her face and head." The tale further weaves ABC into the incident. She claimed to have reported the incident to the network and nothing was done. Subsequently, the abuse continued according to Nicollette.

"The suit also alleges when Cherry found out Teri Hatcher went above his head to complain about him, he said, “I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies.”

ABC is rolling their eyes at the claims and told TMZ:

“While we have yet to see the actual complaint, we investigated similar claims made by Ms. Sheridan last year and found them to be without merit.”

I haven’t watched this mess in years. Nothing about it was intriguing past the first few seasons. Although, Cherry did make his start under the wing of Dixie Carter during her “Designing Women” days. I loved that sassy queen.

What Others Said:

Dlisted: "If this mess is true, Marc needs to go sit next to the vending machine in the break room and leave the slapping to the professionals."

The Superficial – "I’m not ruling out the fact Marc Cherry is a Log Cabin Republican and therefore spends each day teetering on the verge of insanity."
